What is an electric Solar Bike?

It is a 100 % bicycle with all the characteristics of a bicycle .

To move forward the rider needs to pedal .

The improvement is that an electric motor has been added with a battery pack to power it.

The Motor will assist the rider on needed basis .The rider decides if he needs the assistance or not.

For example on roads going downward the bike will move due to gravity so there is no need for the assistance of the motor . A sensor is included in the brake and will disconnect the motor.

But for flat road or for slopes the assistance is welcome and then the motor may start and help .

Depending on riders strength the muscular energy that can be developed varies from 50 Watts (normal rider) to 300 Watts (professional riders ).So by adding the energy of the motor to the rider’s energy the bike can achieve better results .Either saving energy from the rider or going to longer distances.

The use is very simple ;if you need assistance turn on the motor system.

When you start pedaling a sensor will detect the movement and will automatically start the motor progressively .

When you stop pedaling : the motor stops.

The max speed is electronically limited to 25 kmh to respect USA or EU regulations.

Conventional ebikes needs to be recharged with a charger connected to the grid. it takes approx 8 hours and give you approx 1 hour of capacity. A daily recharge has really a minimal cost:approx 0.025 US$ making it the cheapest form of modern transportation.

Our solar bikes have this special feature of having 4 solar panels integrated on the wheels and recharging constantly the battery (for as long as there is Sun) . It takes approx 3 to 4 hours (for 29″) and 4 to 6 hours (for 26″) to fully recharge the battery ,so this allow to increase the autonomy of the bike.

During a ride the energy generated by the solar panels is directly used by the motor and the excess is stored in the battery. If you use your bike extensively you can of course solar recharge during day time away from your home and use the charger when you are back home.

The battery management is the unique decision of the owner.

There is always pro and con and the main valid argument is the increase of weight of the bike.(battery + motor + solar panel = approx 6 to 8 kgs) but due to the high efficiency of a bike itself which is considered to be approx 95 % (energy spent / work done) this argument does not stand.

This is to compare with a car for example.

An internal combustion engine has approx 33 % efficiency and the car body weight is approx 95 % of the cargo transported which makes a car efficiency at only : 5 % of 33 % = 1.65 % .
